The defendant shall have the burden of. injecting the issue of influence of sudden passion arising from adequate cause under subdivision (1) of subsection 1 of this section.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Williams · State v. Tate“[I]t “is not the assault or the provocation alone that reduces the grade of the crime, but it is the sudden happening or occurrence of the provocation so as to render the mind incapable of reflection and obscure the reason so that the elements of malice and deliberation necessary to constitute murder are absent, and therefore the crime is not murder, but manslaughter.” State v. Mudgett, 531 S.W.2d 275, 280 (Mo.banc 1975), citing, State v. Clough, 327 Mo. 700, 705 , 38 S.W.2d 36, 38 (Mo.1931).”
